Evidence to gather first
Share photos, measurements, access notes, and any relevant survey or product information so appliance repair quotes are based on the same facts.
A stronger brief helps tradespeople price the same job rather than guessing from incomplete information.
Share photos, measurements, access notes, and any relevant survey or product information so appliance repair quotes are based on the same facts.
Ask whether preparation, materials, waste removal, making good, testing, and follow-on trades are included or priced separately.
Compare timing, insurance, review quality, warranty assumptions, and how clearly each appliance repair explains exclusions before choosing a shortlist.
£100–£300 per day for most trades, £500–£3,000 for standard room projects

Vague labour-only quotes with no finish standard, room count, or materials split.
No insurance, no recent work examples, and no written snagging agreement.
Requests for full payment up front on short-duration maintenance jobs.
A contractor who will not confirm what happens if hidden defects or extra work appear.
Expect to pay £300–£600 per room for skimming over existing plaster, or £600–£1,000 for full replastering including stripping back to brick. Ceiling plastering adds £200–£400 per room.
Most exterior paintwork needs refreshing every 5–7 years depending on exposure, paint quality, and substrate. South-facing and exposed walls may need more frequent maintenance.
A carpenter works on site — fitting kitchens, hanging doors, laying flooring, building stud walls. A joiner works in a workshop making bespoke items like staircases, windows, and furniture. Many professionals do both.
For small, straightforward jobs (shelving, curtain rails, minor repairs), a handyman is fine. For anything involving electrics, gas, plumbing, or structural changes, always use a qualified specialist trade.
